Senate may limit data center water

The Idaho Senate is considering House Bill 895, which aims to restrict water consumption by future data centers in the state, specifically targeting evaporative cooling systems. The bill, having passed the House and a Senate committee, seeks to promote more water-efficient closed-loop systems unless an agreement is made with a local water district. It also directs the Idaho Department of Water Resources to assess water rights for data centers based on public interest and conservation.
